Pros

Free food, excellent cab facilities, and a highly competitive, motivating learning environment Great mentorship, amazing campus amenities like free food and cabs, and competitive stipends. The learning curve is massive, and the cab services and free food make daily life very convenient.

Cons

The work-life balance can sometimes be quite challenging depending on the specific team you get. Bureaucracy and slow internal processes can occasionally delay project deployments and approvals. vast size of the company makes it easy to feel like a very small cog in a massive wheel.
